Vacuflush problems

[Roland Illvesand]

My vacuum pump was running every 20-30 sec and I thought it was time to change duckbill valves.
However, it was enough to clean and lubricate the flush ball and ball seal.
I used red rubber grease to lubricate the ball seal and now it works perfectly.

Glad I did not have to do the dirty work to change duckbill valves

Easy fixes are always the best! Glad you did not have to dig in to the duckbills.

Vegetable Oil does the job too. I think that’s what they make the red rubber grease out of.

Yes it is correct, I chose grease instead of vegetable Oil because it stays in place for a longer time.
